Taking a break !!  

Wednesday, May 6, 2009

When I came across a lot of my blogging friends who were taking breaks, I thought I wouldn't do it, and I would somehow try to be in touch the with blogging world. But here I am, taking a break!! :(

Life is getting a little busy and I'm not able to sqeeze a little time for blogging. So after trying for some weeks, I finally decided to take a break.

This doesn't mean I'll not be visiting you guys, I will visit and give comments to you as much as possible,  but not very frequently. Also, I'll not be posting my recipes often too. I'll try to post atleast once a week and comment all your wonderful posts.

Meanwhile you guys have a wonderful time cooking and blogging!! :)

Tomato Kurma (Thakkali Kuruma)  

Friday, May 1, 2009


Tomato kurma is one of South Indians' favourite side dish. Here goes my version of it:



Ingredients:


Large onion - 1
Tomato (Roma) - 4
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Oil - 4 tbsp
Grated coconut - 1 cup
Kuskus - 1 tbsp
Roasted split channa (pottu kadalai) - 2 tsp
Salt
Curry leaves - one spring


To grind:

Ginger - 1 small piece
Garlic - 3 pods
Green chillies - 2 (adjust according to your taste)
Cinnamon - 1
Clove -1
Fennel seeds - 1/4 tsp
Cilantro - 2 tsp




Direction:


1. Chop onion and tomato finely. Grind the ingredients given under 'to grind' and keep separately. Also grind roasted split channa, coconut and kuskus and keep aside.

2. Heat oil in a pan, add onion and turmeric powder. Cook till it turns golden colour.

3. Add the ground mix (ginger, garlic, etc) and fry till the raw flavour has left. Then add tomatoes with salt and cook till the tomatoes are completely done. (Takes about 20 minutes).

4. Then add coconut ground mix with enough water and chopped curry leaves. Stir it for 5 minutes under medium flame and remove from flame.

5. Tomato kurma can be served with roti/idli/dosa.
